Overview
"The real work is done in the truck." There is really no right or wrong in how a baseball game is cut. However, the director who anticipates the action delivers a cleaner, more watchable game cut. Veteran baseball director Tom Mee delivers a fascinating, play-by-play look at the very challenging job of directing sports TV, the sport of baseball in particular.

About the Author
Tom Mee, Jr.’s career as an acclaimed director of television sports began on the
playing field. Drafted out of high school in Minnesota by the Chicago White Sox, he
elected to play for legendary coach Dick “Chief” Siebert at the University of Minnesota.
Following a standout collegiate career (which he began by becoming the first Gopher
freshman ever to start a Big Ten opener), Tom was drafted in the 12th round by the Atlanta
Braves. After two seasons in the Braves organization, he signed with the Seattle Mariners.
He turned down an offer to manage in the Mariners minor league organization in order to
finish college. Tom’s television career began as a camera cable puller. He worked his way
through the business as a camera operator, stage manager and television producer for the
Minnesota Twins and joined the St. Louis Cardinals broadcast team in 1988. Since then he
has been an integral part of one of baseball’s highest-rated telecasts. Tom has also directed
most other major sports on the network, regional and local levels and is an Emmy Award
winner several times over.
